MI Excel Reflections: Accomplishments, Lessons and Steps Forward

Over the past two years, the Michigan Department of Education, the Michigan State University Office of K-12 Outreach, the Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators, and other partners have worked in partnership to create the MI Excel Statewide System of Support (SSoS). The MI Toolkit was created to provide a comprehensive and growing resource for Focus and Priority school educators who are trying to raise achievement and close achievement gaps in their schools and districts. As we close 2014, and the SSoS is taking a different direction, we would like to use this issue to reflect on the work that has been done over the years, including the lessons learned and progress made, but also to identify work that still needs to be done.
